Sweet Potato Biscuits

Cook Time - 15 min
Yield - 15 to 18 biscuits

Ingredients
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 heaping tablespoons sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter
• 2 to 4 tablespoons milk (depending on the moisture of the potatoes)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In a separate, large bowl, mix the sweet potatoes and butter.

Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture and mix to make a soft dough.

Then add milk a tablespoon at a time to mixture and continue to cut in.

Turn the dough out onto a floured board and toss lightly until the outside of the dough looks smooth.

Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter.

Place the biscuits on a greased pan and coat tops with melted butter.

Bake for about 15 minutes. (Watch your oven: If the biscuits are browning too fast, lower the temperature.)
